Flemish to English translations [Non-PRO]
Bus/Financial - Law: Contract(s)
Flemish term or phrase: bestatigd
this features in the sentence: "de door de toezichthouder bestatigde, redelijkerwijze gemaakte en gedragen werkingskosten" - that is part of a document about tenders and specifications in Flanders - i can't find it in any dictionary and I think it's a Flemish rather than Dutch term - anyone have any ideas?

Explanation:
